i looked at my ld340 and there isn't much room there also, it looks like if you open it to the good gasket or plastic spacer there would only be about .030 on the secondary side unless you weld. NE1 have a pic of a LD340 opened up to T-quad size.
I don't have a picture, but I hogged my LD340 out a few years back and there is plenty of room left after doing it and I'm using the big bore TQ with no issues at all.

You would have the same problem with and LD340. They are not set up for a thermoquad either. yes it will work with a little grinding but why not just get an adapter.
On a non shaker Ebody, there isn't a lot of room under the hood for a LD340, TQ and adapter plate.

I foolishly had that same combination for a litte (Thermobog on an RPM air gap). Just use an adapter... or better yet use a real carb.
A properly tweaked THERMOquad does NOT have a BOG issue at all ...PEPSIkid
And an ADAPTER is fine on a truck or RV ... but anything HP .. those adapters are NOT the plan.

Say what you want, there's a reason OTHER carter designs like the AFB is still being produced and thermobogs aren't.

The REASON is ... is those AFB designs are simple UNefficent carbs that are EZ to produce ...... compared to the TQ.
And this stupid thermobog title ? ... if you TWEAK the carb right(with the proper tool ) ....
The CORRECT title would be thermoKICK .... as the secondaries come-in and SPIN the tires !

Let me be clear I'm not touting any of the carter designs, just pointing out which of their crappy ones are still in production.
